HOLBROOK, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — A Long Island father has been busted on charges he took his baby girl and toddler son along for a drag race. Making things worse, the dad is accused of revving it up to 118 mph before getting pulled over.

Initially, the arresting sheriff’s deputy had no idea there were children in the car. He thought he was chasing a couple of drag racers alone. The shocking discovery was made after the cars were stopped.
